) Hollywood chose to find more geopolitically-correct villainsBy 1989 Gorbachevs Soviet Union was not a geoplitically-correct villain; Ceausescus Romania on the other hand wasit would be interesting to see how a similar script would have been written a decade before when Romania was on the top of the Wests geopolitical world Of course if the creation of fictional enemy countriessatirized well in the Austin Power film series Kreplakistancan be annoying and is itself still an amalgam stereotype of the former Soviet Union from Ukraine to Central Asia Hollywoods search for the most consensual-least box-office controversial enemy can have backlash especially years later See for example the substitution of generic Middle Eastern enemies for the Soviets and others as the 1980s progressed; the choice for example of Libyan terrorists in the 1985 Back to the Future may have seemed like a safe onean official enemy of the US that had targeted Americans in terrorist acts (such as the Berlin discotheque bombing) and that had a very small Libyan (as opposed to Arab) émigré community in the United Statesbut it is clear that in retrospect it was far from safe Clearly as the Soviet Union waned drug cartels became prosaic and boring and the East bloc mafiya prototype ran its course the xenophobic Middle Eastern terrorists became useful The United States in part probably reaps some of the anger directed against it from the happenstance box office driven selection of real-world enemies for action-thrillers in a post-Cold War worldThe Seinfeld episode that introduced this paperwith its Romanian gymnast-cum-acrobatHer Alibi etc made me question whether there was any empirical reality that may have contributed to the birth and growth of this stereotype I have not compared things systematically to the situation of defectors from other East bloc countries but I did a brief search in the Washington Post and New York Times on the subject Clearly the most well-known gymnastics defections from Romania were those of Nadia herself in November 1989 and in 1981 her controversial ethnic Hungarian coach Bela Karolyi his wife Marta and the Romanian team choreographer Geza Pozar (based on the name apparently also likely Hungarian) In November 1985 an acrobat Andi Georgescu who performed for Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey defected (WP 11/22/85 A 30a; NYT 11/22/85 II 3:1) In April 1987 two 16 year olds Carmen Georgescu and Julia Catrinoiu both gymnasts and acrobats were granted political asylum (NYT 4/9/87 II 7:6; WP 2/24/87 A 14a) In August 1987 four acrobats in California with Ringling and Barnum and Bailey sought asylum (NYT 8/8/87) It is possible that coverage of such incidents particularly in the media of major metropolitan areas could have by osmosis created this connection and image particularly among Americas creative intellectuals Of course once again as occurs throughout many examples raised in this paper there is the chicken-or-the-egg problem since coverage and attention given to these particular types of defectionsof gymnast/acrobats from Romaniahad already been conditioned by Nadia and Romanian gymnastics (in fact in a sense perhaps to the extent that was possible made easier likely to garner more media coverage and a greater blow to a country whose prestige had become tied to this issue)The Magical and the MysticalAs a repository for the occult for evil for the mysterious spiritual world Romania became a good bet for American television shows during the early and mid-1990s Thus the 5 May 1993 episode of the drama Law and Order entitled bluntly Securitate has a lawyer pleading that his Romanian immigrant client charged with murder is not guilty due to cultural insanity claiming he had been conditioned to violence in his homeland [] There is of course the great irony here that what in the American context may appear to be understandingsensitive to cultural differences recognizing the societal influences on individual actionwould no doubt beckon Todorova-like indignance over a classic Balkan stereotype Moreover given the timing of the episode (May 1993) a year into the Bosnian conflict the argument of cultural insanity played well into the Kaplanesque ancient hatreds mentality so prevalent at the time And to top it all off three of the main characters in the episode have the last name IliescuThe magical-mystery tourism aspect of Romania is better explored in the 14 April 1995 episode of the X-Files where the traditional Romanian fertility folk dancers the Calusari become a trope for warding off evil In this episode Romanian language shows up again A character in the episode comments on the Calusari: In Romania they are responsible for the correct observance of sacred rites An episode capsule expands on their role in the plot:When Steve Holvey is later killed in a bizarre accident ash from the scene is identified as a substance called Vibuti holy ash produced during the presence of spiritual beings The Grandmother later dies while performing a protective ritual on Charlie and when a social worker questions Charlie about the incident he claims his still born twin brother Michael killed her Which comes as a shock to Maggie Holvey who claims she never told Charlie about his dead twin brother It appears that the families only hope is a strange group of Romanian elderly chanters called The CalusariThe exotic and superstitious are in full effect: Bram Stokers Romania meets FBI chasers of UFOs and the supernaturalThe Romanian Quintuplets South Park Episode: A Cornucopia of Modern Romanian Pop Culture Images in North AmericaComedy shows often distastefully have also used Romanian images to good effect For example the British comedy series of the 1990s Absolutely Fabulous in which a layabout alcoholic high-maintenance fashion-designer threatens her straightlaced daughter that she will adopt Romanian orphans if her daughter wont invite her to a school presentation The threat backfires when her addle-minded assistant actually follows through on the idea and Romanian orphan babies begin arriving ("Iso Tank" 10/3/92) However the trifecta the grand slam of American (although the creator of the show is Canadian) images of Romaniansand one that is actually intended it appears to be just thatis the so-called Romanian Quint(uplet)s episode of the cartoon series South ParkThe South Park episode from 2000 (Original Air Date: 26 April 2000) is a satire of the Elian (aka Alien) Gonzalez saga from the spring of that yearan arguably absurd made-for-cable/satellite twenty-four/seven round-the-clock television news channel production with Cuban émigrés in Florida attempting to prevent the return of a seven-year old boy to his father in Cuba In retrospect given the whole Florida fiasco in the 2000 electionsand I am not aware of any studies that have specifically looked into the issue although they may existone has to wonder if the television coverage of the saga and interest in the Cuban and other communities in Florida may have contributed in some (though doubtfully decisive) measure to the election results The South Park episode has orphan Romanian gymnasts/acrobats from the circus defecting from communist-like bureaucrats and a country described in the most negative termsThe episode contains a number of the characteristics and stereotypes of (North) American images of Romanians A Romanian woman is named Mrs Vladchick one can assume a sort of slang combination of Vlad (Tepes aka Dracula) and chick (also conveniently an ending for some (especially South) Slavic last names in English) Names and language are pseudo-slavic: although one girl is named Nadia (a clear descendent of the 76 Olympics) another is named Baltania while Mrs Vladchick carries on a conversation in Romanian that centers around the following gibberish: Nid kelmin da bushka It should also be noted that the idea of quintuplets-as-circus-show-for-viewing may be influenced by the story of five French Canadian sistersthe Dionne quintupletswho were treated in this manner in the 1930s in Canada without much regard to their fate (the story was given wide play in the late 1990s and the creator of the show is Canadian so this may be the link)A television reporter summarizes the background and scene as the Mrs Vladchicks Quintuplets from the traveling Cirque de Cheville attempt to defect:Tom I'm standing at the home in South Park where five precious little girls have been rescued from Romania Their mother passes away some months ago and then their grandmother died trying to bring them here But all is well now and people are coming from all over the country to view the little tykes [someone takes a picture] If you'd like to come down and visit the quintuplets admission is only $5 and for a few dollars more ["FEED THE QUINTS One Dollar" A man buys some fishsticks] you can feed them fishsticksA Quint: [hops up and down then opens her mouth for a fishstick the man drops down to her] MmmReporter: Tom it looks like these cute little girls have made it out of that armpit of a country they call Romania[Romania day Government officials watch the report in a run-down office]Reporter: Yes luckily for them these quintuplets no longer have to live in Romania the asshole of the world [a last shot of the quints is seen] Back to you TomPresident: This is not good It makes our country look poor and stupidRomanian Official: This could kill our tourismPresident: You know what to do [they salute him and leave](authors note: from Episode 403 The Quintuplets script can be found online at many sites for example [http://wwwsouthparkdslpipexcom/scripts/scr403shtml] captions as found in script)In a later scene one of the South Park children Cartman tries to convince the quints that they dont want to go back to Romania by saying In Romania they just oppress you and try to bring you down All is for naught however for as with Elian Gonzalez the Quints father comes forward and (then Attorney General) Janet Reno descends on Easter Sunday in an Easter Bunny suit seizing the girls at gunpoint with well-armed soldiers in the backgroundVlad orphans gymnasts/acrobats Romania as a poverty-stricken country dependent on tourist revenues and run by a mindless oppressive bureaucracy and an aggressive presidentthe images/stereotypes are all here Ironically South Park and this episode are perhaps more bent on satirizing (North) American society and the hypocrisy absurdity and sanctimony of politicians special interest groups and the media Yet with Romania as prop they succeed in creating a perfect storm of kitsch Romanian pop-culture iconography (although in truth political correctness is always a target never a shackle for the cartoons creators) The factors involved in this are vast. if scientists stick to true science and the faithful.
